Une conférence scientifique sur la Synécoculture (MOOCs de CS-DC) est disponible sur la chaine de l’Association Synécoculture:
Cette présentation est basée sur un article publié dans les actes de colloque de Cerisy “villes et territoires résilients” de Éditions Hermann en 2020.
Le projet a pour objectif général de soulager le panier des ménages les plus démunis face à la COVID-19, par la création d’emplois à travers les potagers solidaires, avec le budget total de 2,7 million Euros en 3 ans.
Spécifiquement, il s’agit de :
Construire 06 forages ;
Nourrir 3 500 000 personnes d’une alimentation équilibrée et saine, sur la production de fruits et légumes issus de la Synécoculture, de l’élevage et la pisciculture sur une parcelle de 45 hectares.
Créer 2 300 emplois directs et indirects avec la formation sur supports numériques.
In September 2020, Sony’s interactive hallway in Lund office, Sweden, is showcasing what Sony is doing for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Synecoculture project at Sony CSL was featured as a global initiative that tackles SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
Synecoculture™ Conventional agriculture largely focuses on increasing productivity from a single crop, by plowing top soil, spreading fertilizer, and applying pesticides based on the characteristics of the crop. These practices damage ecosystems and cause environmental problems. Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc. (Sony CSL) is testing applications for Synecoculture, a sustainable agricultural practice that highly balances productivity and biodiversity. Synecoculture eliminates the need for plowing, fertilizing, and pesticide use that impact the environment, by taking maximum advantage of the material cycling that occurs naturally in ecosystems, aiming to create rich ecosystems with a diverse mix of plants that coexist together and grow lushly. Synecoculture requires vast knowledge of plant ecology, and for several years Sony CSL has been conducting tests at a number of farms, cultivating a blend of plants in order to collect data on plant compatibility and soil conditions. Sony CSL is also using IT to develop systems to support greater social ecological diversity including Synecoculture. The Synecoculture project is directly related to 11 out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is registered as a good corporate practice with the Japan SDGs Action Platform promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.
